So Serious Saturday #26

Fiction needs a basis in reality. Exercising non-fiction muscles once in a while benefits an active imagination, channeling creative energies as it focuses on a subject. So Serious Saturdays will be an active place for critical essays or writing about reality in the context of real events - even when it is not written on Saturdays.

Type: Philosophical

Against

    Two people will disagree at some point somewhere. These different individuals may even argue aloud.

    Groups are similar, as they are composed of people, except that they will argue aloud. Who are they arguing with?

    In my experience I've seen that if there is someone fighting for, then there will be someone against, if there isn't a force already against it:

         Cats? Dogs.

         Hot? Cold.

         DC? Marvel.

        Street? Book.

        Chaos? Order.

        Creation? Holograms.

        Natural look? Makeup pride.

       Family bonds? Individual rights.

       Marriage equality? Sanctity of marriage.

       Guns rights? Gun control. 

        Illegal aliens? No, immigrants.

        Pro-choice? Pro-life.

      Feminism? Machismo.

     Often we are loud. Too often we are violent and unkind. I can't help but wonder if in all this fighting with and against each other that we are not missing the point: to love, in spite of disagreements.
